Lie

22 inventors preceded Edison on the light bulb
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In...ent_light_bulb

It is not necessarily a lie. The sentence doesn't say he was the first one to invent the light bulb, just that he invented it.

well it is not true. He didn't invent it, he merely perfected it. He was just very good at propaganda...

I think it's a matter of how you view it. I'll leave the decission to other moderators.
